About this subject
In Indonesian at Year 9, Students recognise and approximate the pronunciation, rhythms and intonation patterns of more extended phrases and compound sentences. They use words with more complex syllable combinations and become more fluent and accurate in both spoken and written language production. They develop understanding of the nature of both translation and interpretation, noticing the relationship between language, texts and culture. This is a period of language exploration and vocabulary expansion, and of experimentation with different modes of communication.
Semester 1
Students explore Indonesia through the role of language and culture with an emphasis on developing an understanding of language structures through the areas of communication; informing, creating, translating, and reflecting. Students will continue to build a vocabulary and grammatical base that allows them to compose and present different kinds of simple texts.
Focus Areas include:
Where and how we shop: compare the different places where Indonesians shop and the prices of goods in Indonesia compared with Australia and appreciate the knack of bargaining in Indonesia.
Ceremonies and celebrations: the importance of celebrating significant milestones and special occasions, how Indonesians celebrate birthdays, and understanding and respecting the cultural differences between Indonesia and Australia. A look into the significance of special occasions in Bali.
